Timothy,
I can't find any official literature on the IBM website, but I googled
for it and found an IBM presentation at the URL below;
Also, note the disclaimer.

Just to add a related, but off-topic, suggestion about TSM 5.4 and
IBM...
Last fall we (as technicians) were invited to an Executive Briefing at
IBM-Tucson about our storage needs. We received a "roadmap"
presentation on TSM 5.4 and other storage concepts.
I've been to a couple of IBM's Executive Briefings now. And I want to
really advise you
all that if you ever get the chance for one of these: "Take it..."

I think that TSM 5.4 was due for release this month, however I don't
know if it is on schedule.
I think the reindeer struggled this year and Santa was late getting to
the developers. (Sorry, couldn't resist a belated festive funny)
A list of the new features/enhancements that were scheduled to be
included follows below. Again, some might not have made the cut.
I would imagine that some of the IBM'ers will give you a more detailed
corporate line a little later in the day.
Possible features;
The ability to collocate active data on sequential media (typically
sequential access disk for fast restores and reduced size disk pools).
Integration of NDMP (Netapps/n-series) backups with TSM storage pools
(allows filer-to-TSM-server backups).
Support for NDMP v4.
Backupset enhancements and improved flexibility (ability to produce
point-intime backupsets using data in storage pools at any time).
New Incremental backup method using a local disk cache to minimise
memory utilisation (can now process an unbounded number of files).
Vista Support (and Volume Shadow Copy Service integration).
Support for Intel based Mac OS X (and standardised to use normal
option file names).
Support for hardware tape drive encryption.
Various Admin Center updates.
Note: Windows 2000 is not supported on ITSM 5.4.
